Decades back ‘Management’ in Non Profit Institutions was not organized. For many today the word ‘Management’ means- Business Management. Few understand that the Non Profit Institutions also have a Mission, a Leadership, and a Management.

The Non Profit Institutions themselves have started realizing that they need management all the more because they do not have a conventional ‘bottom line’. They know that they need to learn how to use Management as their tool lest they be overwhelmed by it. They know they need management so that they can concentrate on their mission. Indeed there is a ‘Management Boom’ going on among the Non Profit Institutions, large medium or small.

The Masters in Non-Profit Management (MNPM) degree program fulfills this important lacunae/need. MNPM prepares candidates for Management and Leadership roles in the Non Profit Sector. The program focuses on making its graduates to be reflective practitioners, capable of independent professional judgment that integrates theory, practical experience, and commitment to social values.
